Sons of Harry

Am watching the Cubs game and Chip Caray, grandson of Harry Caray, is doing play-by-play for the Braves. He had actually filled his grandfathers enormous shoes (glasses?) after Harry passed away and took a seat next to Steve Stone. I loved Harry Caray and to virtually the same degree, loved listening to Steve Stone (voice of sobriety compared to Harry). Something happened a few years ago between the Tribune Company (owner of WGN and the cubs) and Stoner..He left WGN and retired (I think) and Chip leftfor the Braves where his Dad Skip worked for many years.

So watching today, Smoltzy and our pitcher (a Japanese pitcher) are essentially stinking up the joint and there have been countless home runs since today's beautiful day for baseball means 90 degrees and the wind blowing distinctly out. Chip Caray cited a statistic of the most home runs allowed in an inning - relevant to something. And then he said, "And it's my pleasure to say that Steve Stone holds that record."

I LOVE that they still pick at each other, even if Chip's other half is missing.
